Written by Mark A. Reid, this book details the reasons behind the award of the Star that was issued to boost the morale of the defenders of Khartoum, It looks at the recipients and, crucially, reveals how many different types of Stars there are out there. It also tells us when they were sold and how much they made. For those interested in the numismatic side of medals as much as the human stories behind them, this book will be a delight, and for anyone interested in General Gordon and the Siege of Khartoum it is a “must have” addition to their library.
